Atheism Is Pure BS

[Griffith]

Not at all. Many Catholics pray straight to Jesus. Either way you have not gone very deep I can tell.

Almost all pray to statues of dead 'saints'.

[BigRo]

Not all Catholics do there is no rule about it. You are stuck on something of a very man made origin ie (who has the one true method of worshipping God) this is man made nonsense not God made.

[BigRo]

Scary.

Don't worship or serve idols of any kind, because I, the LORD, am your God.

Hope this helps.

Life finds a way...

Life will always find a way if you have a Universe like ours — one with mass, energy, and the four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force.

But let’s push the question further. Suppose you start with nothing. How do you get from absolute nothingness to a functioning Universe? I’m genuinely curious what the atheists here think. If the answer is “it just spontaneously began,” then how is that fundamentally different from a Creator willing it into existence? Both require something appearing from nothing.

[MuscleBuff]

I verified every reference in that long list above (20 truths) and it all checks out. How can catholicism continue to exist? Their own holy books refute the fundamentals of their religion...

[obsidian]

A lot of people don't believe in the Abrahamic religions but aren't atheist either. New Agers are one group.

Okay. Atheists often make a lot of assumptions — specifically about the underlying properties of the Universe. They take the existing framework as a given. But if you start with nothing, you can’t just assume the Universe will conveniently come with E = mc², gravity, hydrogen, helium, the strong and weak nuclear forces, or the precise conditions needed for star formation.

If the starting point is truly nothing, then where do these laws and constants come from? How do you “get” a Universe in which hydrogen clouds can collapse under gravity and ignite nuclear fusion to form stars? You can’t assume any of these attributes will simply pop into existence without an explanation.
